To diminish the time required for some diagnostic assays including polymerase chain reaction (PCR), loopmediated isothermal amplification (LAMP; due to mainly DNA extraction step) and also DAS-ELISA into a minimum level, an innovative immunocapture LAMP (IC-LAMP) and immunocapture PCR (IC-PCR) protocol on the basis of Tomato Yellow Leaf curl Virus (TYLCV) genome were used and optimized. Even though DAS-ELISA, IC-PCR and IC-LAMP assays could successfully detect positive infected plant samples, considering the time, safety, sensitivity, cost, no need of DNA extraction and simplicity the last one was overall superior. The hydroxynaphthol blue could produce long stable colour change and brightness in a close tube-based approach to prevent cross-contamination risk. Altogether, as IC-LAMP is sensitive, cost effective, fairly user friendly and also can generate more accurate results than previous diagnostic procedures, we accordingly propose this assay as a highly reliable alternative viral recognition system regarding TYLCV recognition and probably other viral-based diseases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
